John, re your "selective" editing of the CNET Rise Technology story, that was clever, and funny. You could have inserted IDT or Exponential or Cyrix/NSM in there for Rise, just about, and gotten the same drift. But go easy on Rise, willya, I have friends over there! (But I do wonder sometimes what they ARE doing there). Answering my own wonderment, there are only so many places CPU architects and designers can find to work any more. Regards, Tony

John Hull. Re: "Yet Another Start-up releases low-cost chip plans." Thanx very much for that satire. How true it is! I still can remember the full page Motorola ads in the Wall St. Journal (I think they were several full pages) announcing how the MOT-IBM-APPL combination "powerPC was going to KILL Intel. As a fairly new stockholder then, it was a cause for concern personally, but now that MOT has their semiconductor business on the block, these announcements are like gnats. What I particularly liked about your piece is that all the tech trade press ignores the reality of Intel's SUCCESS at protecting its franchise, while falling all over themselves to praise people (who shall remain nameless) who have built a multi-billion $ corporation and gotten themselves (by their own arrogance & mismanagement) sued (bigtime) for an easily avoided charge of monopoly. Yet I have not seen one article saying, "How did such smart (?) people get themselves in such a mess." Who'd a thunk it? HL
